Portland, Oregon-based Far West Fibers has changed its name to Far West Recycling.
In a letter to its vendors, company president and CEO Keith Ristau writes, “Up until the early 2000s, paper accounted for almost all of the recyclables we processed; today, however, it represents just over half of our volume. We’ve diversified into many different kinds of commodities and recyclables, from metals to Styrofoam, plastics, glass and electronics, and we want our name to reflect that evolution.”
Ristau adds that the company remains “as committed as ever to selling high-quality paper products and other recyclables that exemplify our pride of workmanship.”
Email addresses associated with Far West Recycling remain the same as those used by Far West Fibers, however, Ristau says responses will be sent from a new email domain: @farwestrecycling.com.
